In the latest release of the Associated Press Top 25 Poll, Alabama remains in the top spot.

The Crimson Tide remain in the top spot after their demolishing of Mercer on Saturday, and received 58-of-61 first-place votes. The other three votes went to Miami (FL.), who remain second overall. The biggest riser is LSU, who move up two spots from 21 to 19. Nov 19 - 2:09 PM

In the latest release of the Amway Coaches Poll, Alabama, Penn State, Georgia and TCU held steady at Nos. 1-4.

Last week's poll saw all sorts of seismic shifts thanks to a slew of upsets, but this weekend's slate of games proved to be relatively calm. Not only were there no changes in the first four slots in the fresh poll, No. 5 (Wisconsin) and No. 6 (Ohio State) also held their ground. We do welcome one new member to the top-10, with Notre Dame joining the party right at that No. 10 marker courtesy of their beatdown of USC on Saturday. Oh, and speaking of the Trojans, HC Clay Helton's crew plummeted a whopping 11 spots, all the way down to No. 21. Should they lose to Arizona State next weekend -- which is not at all out of the question -- they'll be in danger of falling out of the poll altogether. Oct 22 - 1:31 PM

Rivals recruiting analyst Adam Gorney does not believe there is reason to be worried about Alabama's No. 31 recruiting class for the 2018 cycle.

Alabama's somewhat sluggish recruiting ranking has been a low-simmering story dating back to the spring. Working in their favor, Gorney points to the fact that 14 of the 27 recruits currently rated as five-star prospects have yet to commit. Writes the analyst, "Alabama has also shown an ability to flip any committed recruit it basically wants and a number of four-star prospects are also high on the program for various reasons." We understand the patience-is-a-virtue approach with the Tide, but at the same time, there's a lot of work to be done before they can secure a top-10 class. Oct 13 - 4:25 PM

Alabama has outscored its three Power 5 opponents by a score of 149-10 this season.

Those three contests came in easy wins over Florida State, Vanderbilt and -- most recently -- Ole Miss. The numbers are absolutely staggering. We view Auburn as the most likely regular-season foe to topple the Tide, but that's "most likely" in relative terms. It would be a surprise if Bama did not run the table to the SEC Championship Game. Then we'll see what Georgia (or potentially Florida) can do against this sickeningly good defensive unit. Oct 3 - 8:39 PM
